Wedding Chaos or Wedding Planner?
I love when wedding couples are surveyed. The results are inevitably optimistic. Recently http://www.weddingchaos.co.uk (it’s even in the website’s name and STILL the results were positive) asked 1000+ readers whether they would use a wedding planner or not. 51% said no.
One respondent said, “….wedding planners are a good idea, but I am not using one myself as I like the stress and pressure”.
That’s brilliant. A lie, but brilliant.
The truth is, and the survey confirmed this, couples don’t use wedding planners because they think professional assistance will be too expensive or they think a planner will meddle too much.
If I had it to do over, I would use at least six wedding planners. In fact, one saving grace of my wedding was the wedding planner at our venue. She had this incredible talent of making people do things and be pleased they did.
On the other hand, she didn’t make me do anything I didn’t want to. I loved her. Until her, no one listened to anything I said. I don’t know how she did it. The woman was a genius.
